The EFL is contested through three divisions: the Championship, League One and League Two. The winner and the runner-up of the Championship are automatically promoted to the Premier League and they are joined by the winner of the Championship play-off. The bottom two teams in League Two are relegated to the National League.

  2. [b]
    On 16 August 2023, Reading were deducted one point for failing to pay players on time and in full on three occasions in the 2022–23 season.[4] Another 3-point deduction was applied on 13 September, for failing to deposit wages on time.[5] Another 2-point deduction was applied on 27 February, due to late HMRC payments.[6]
